In this paper, two wavelet neural network (WNN) frames which depend on Morlet wavelet function and Gaussian wavelet function were established. In order to improve the efficiency of model training, the momentum term was applied to modify the weights and thresholds, and the output of the network was summed up by function transformation of output layer nodes. When the Gaussian Wavelet Neural Networks (GWNN) and Morlet Wavelet Neural Networks (MWNN) were applied to coal consumption rate (CCR) estimation in a thermal power plant, the results confirmed their potency in function approximation. In addition, the influence of learning rate on the models was also discussed through the orthogonal experiment.

Due to the environmental degradation and depletion of conventional energy, much attention has been devoted to wind energy in many countries. The intermittent nature of wind power has had a great impact on power grid security. Accurate forecasting of wind speed plays a vital role in power system stability. This paper presents a comparison of three wavelet neural networks for short-term forecasting of wind speed. The first two combined models are two types of basic combinations of wavelet transform and neural network, namely, compact wavelet neural network (CWNN) and loose wavelet neural network (LWNN) in this study, and the third model is a new hybrid method based on the CWNN and LWNN models. The efficiency of the combined models has been evaluated by using actual wind speed from two test stations in North China. The results show that the forecasting performances of the CWNN and LWNN models are unstable and are affected by the test stations selected; the third model is far more accurate than the other forecasting models in spite of the drawback of lower computational efficiency.

Wavelet functions have been used as the activation function in feed forward neural networks. An abundance of R&D has been produced on wavelet neural network area. Some successful algorithms and applications in wavelet neural network have been developed and reported in the literature. However, most of the aforementioned reports impose many restrictions in the classical back propagation algorithm, such as low dimensionality, tensor product of wavelets, parameters initialization, and, in general, the output is one dimensional, etc. In order to remove some of these restrictions, a family of polynomial wavelets generated from powers of sigmoid functions is presented. We described how a multidimensional wavelet neural networks based on these functions can be constructed, trained and applied in pattern recognition tasks. As examples of applications for the method proposed a framework for face verfication is presented.

Based on the study of adaptive wavelet neural networks, a hierarchy genetic algorithm is proposed to training network. Compared with standard genetic algorithm, the method can not only optimize network parameters such as scale factor, transform factor parameter and connection weights, but also solve structure problem of adaptive wavelet neural network. The result of simulation indicates that the algorithm can efficiently determinate the parameter and structure of adaptive wavelet neural network, and has better higher training efficiency and forecasting precision.

AbstractArtificial neural networks (ANN) which include deep learning neural networks (DNN) have problems such as the local minimal problem of Back propagation neural network (BPNN), the unstable problem of Radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) and the limited maximum precision problem of Convolutional neural network (CNN). Performance (training speed, precision, etc.) of BPNN, RBFNN and CNN are expected to be improved. Main works are as follows: Firstly, based on existing BPNN and RBFNN, Wavelet neural network (WNN) is implemented in order to get better performance for further improving CNN. WNN adopts the network structure of BPNN in order to get faster training speed. WNN adopts the wavelet function as an activation function, whose form is similar to the radial basis function of RBFNN, in order to solve the local minimum problem. Secondly, WNN-based Convolutional wavelet neural network (CWNN) method is proposed, in which the fully connected layers (FCL) of CNN is replaced by WNN. Thirdly, comparative simulations based on MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets among the discussed methods of BPNN, RBFNN, CNN and CWNN are implemented and analyzed. Fourthly, the wavelet-based Convolutional Neural Network (WCNN) is proposed, where the wavelet transformation is adopted as the activation function in Convolutional Pool Neural Network (CPNN) of CNN. Fifthly, simulations based on CWNN are implemented and analyzed on the MNIST dataset. Effects are as follows: Firstly, WNN can solve the problems of BPNN and RBFNN and have better performance. Secondly, the proposed CWNN can reduce the mean square error and the error rate of CNN, which means CWNN has better maximum precision than CNN. Thirdly, the proposed WCNN can reduce the mean square error and the error rate of CWNN, which means WCNN has better maximum precision than CWNN.

Based on the basic idea of biological gene sequencing method,“Shotgun Method”,this paper proposes a new method of heat/power load optimizing distribution,named as “Shotgun Method”.This method is mainly based on historical operating data of thermal power plant,and puts the reciprocal of fuel utilization coefficient in the physical sense—factory comprehensive standard coal consumption rate as thermal economic index.Through the calculation of thermal system of principle,every unit can get its own coal consumption characteristic equation,as the foundation operating condition library for the heat/power load distribution.“Shotgun Method” aims at minimum factory comprehensive standard coal consumption rate to establish mathematical model for seeking the best match between operating condition library of each unit.The application instance shows that this method is simple,practical,and the energy saving effect is remarkable.

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a transthoracic interpretation of the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time, as detected by electrodes attached to the outer surface of the skin and recorded by a device external to the body. ECG signal classification is very important for the clinical detection of arrhythmia. This paper presents an application of an improved wavelet neural network structure to the classification of the ECG beats, because of the high precision and fast learning rate. Feature extraction method in this paper is wavelet transform. Our experimental data set is taken from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The correct detection rate of QRS wave is 95% by testing the data of MIT-BIH database. The proposed methods are applied to a large number of ECG signals consisting of 600 training samples and 120 test samples from the MIT-BIH database. The samples equally represent six different ECG signal types, including normal beat, atrial premature beat, ventricular premature beat, left bundle branch block, right bundle branch block and paced beat. In comparison with pattern recognition methods of BP neural networks, RBF neural networks and Support Vector Machines (SVM), the results in this experiment prove that the wavelet neural network method has a better recognition rate when classifying electrocardiogram signals. The experimental results prove that supposed method in this paper is effective for arrhythmia pattern recognition field.
